SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentA N0. 691,167, dated January 14, 1902.

Application filed September 28, 1899. Serial No. 731,986. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILHELM NossmN, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hun gary, residing at Vienna, in the Province of Lower Austria and Empire of Austlia-I-Iungary, have invented a new and useful Dumping- Car, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to freight-cars provided with bodies or boxes open at the top and designed to carry materials in loose pieces, such as coal, ore, beet-root, the.; and

it has for its object so to construct the said bodies or boxes as to admit of their rapid and easy discharge.

According to my invention the car-body is divided into two separate parts-viz. the bottom and the square frame formed by the four upright sides of the body. The bottom of the car-body is rigidly secured to the car-frame, as usual, While the square frame formed by the four upright sides of the car body or box is adapted to slide crosswise upon the bottom in suitable guides, and convenient mechanism is provided for moving the said square frame in either direction.

In order to make my invention fully understood, I shall hereinafter describe the same in detail with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which- Figure lis an end elevation, partly in section, of a railway goods-car having the square frame formed by thefour upright sides of its body or box made laterally movable upon the bottom of the body, which bottom is rigidly connected with the car-frame. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the said railway-car, part of the lateral side of the upright frame being broken away to show the structure behind the same. Fig. 3 is a top view of the car-body drawn to a smaller scale.

Referring to the drawings, the square frame o, formed by the four upright sides of the carbody, is adapted to slide laterally upon the bottom 19 of the said body, which bottom is The said frame o' has secured to its under edges a number of racks q, arranged crosswise and entering recesses of the bottom p. The racks q are provided with lateral ribs e, and the re cesses or grooves formed in the immovable bottom p of the car-body have their lateral sides armed with '1 -irons, the upper ribs of which project over the ribs ,e of the racks q, and in this way so connect the frame o with the bottom p of the body as to admit of lateral displacements of the frame upon the bottom.

The longitudinal girders of the car-frame r have secured to them a number of brackets s', in which shafts s, one on each side of the frame r, are journaled. The said shafts s carry pinions t, gearing with the racks q, and have one end projecting beyond the end of the carframe r. The projecting ends of the shafts s carry a worm-wheel u each, and the two worm-wheels .gear with worms o, fastened to a shaft w, j ournaled in brackets w', which are bolted to the corresponding end girder of the car-frame. By means of a crank .r to be applied to either of the squares at the ends of the shaft w the said shaft can be rotated in either direction in order to laterally displace the frame of the car-body. The frame displaced in this Way carries along the contents of the car-body and causes them to slide over a lateral edge of the immovable bottom of the body, so as to drop down by the side of the said bottom.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a dumping-car, the combination with the car-frame of a car-body bottom rigidly connected with the said frame, a square frame formed of the four upright sides of the carbody, which frame is separated from the bodybottom, and a connection between the said car-bod y bottom and car-body frame,by which the frame is adapted to be laterally slid over the bottom and prevented from being moved in other directions, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. In a dumping-car, the combination with the car-frame of a car-body bottom rigidly connected with the said frame and provided with a number of transverse grooves, a square frame formed of the four upright sides of the car-body, which frame is separated from the body-bottom, and transverse bars secured to the under side 0f the car-body frame in such positions as to project into the said grooves of the body-bottom, the said transverse bars and grooves being of such a form in crosssection as to admit of endwise displacement bottom, a connection between the said car-.

body bottom and car-body frame, adapting the frame to be laterally slid over the bottom and preventingit from being moved in other t directions,and suitable mechanism for thrusting the upright body-frame in either lateral direction, substantially as and for the purpose described.

t. In a dumping-car, the combination with the car-frame of a car-body bottom rigidly connected with the said frame and provided with a nn mber of transverse grooves narrowed at top, an upright car-body frame, separated from the said bottom, transverse racks secured to the under side of the car-body frame in such positions as to project into the said grooves and provided with lateral projections, revoluble shafts arranged on the outer surfaces of the longitudinal girders ot the carframe, pinions secured tothe said shafts and meshing with the said racks, `Worm-'Wheels fastened to the ends of the shafts, which project beyond one end girder of the car-frame, a revoluble shaft carried by the said end girder, and worms secured to the said shaft and engaging the worin-Wheels, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In witness whereof I have signed this specification in presence of two Witnesses.
